Facebook also offers a set of instructions
for how to opt out of its new tracking platform, but as the
AdBlock Plus team points out, Facebook’s opt-out system relies on
cookies, “which means: you’d have to apply it to every browser on
every device you own; it may expire when you least expect it; and
if you clear out your cookies you have to reapply.”

Comparatively, you’ll only need to install the Adblock Plus
extension once on all your devices, and enable the social media tracking blocker. Once you
add the subscription “Fanboy’s Social Blocking List” to the list
of filter subscriptions (the information will auto-fill if you
click the direct linkto the social media tracking blocker),
you’ll never need to check Adblock Plus again to ensure it’s
working.
